Late Friday afternoon Chief Assistant District Attorney Terry Spitz said in an email to The Californian that Noemi Armenta would not be facing any charges after Castaneda filed a police report on her saying that she intentionally stepped on his heel during a verbal altercation at an Alisal Union school board meeting.

The odd affair, in which both the supervisor and the newbie councilman exchanged heated words, occurred while the school board was being protested by angry teachers unhappy with the district's proposed wage and benefits package.

Armenta said later he apologized to Castaneda -- a longtime political enemy -- but that the upstart local lawmaker refused to accept his apology. Castaneda decided to file a police report about the alleged assault instead.
